Re: [docbook] Add the book name to the title
[moving this over to the docbook-apps mailing list where stylesheet issues
are discussed.]
Hi Jon,
As you discovered, variable references in gentext are not processed. There
is a template named 'substitute.markup' in common/gentext.xsl that handles
replacing the % placeholders with generated text. You would need to
customize that template to resolve variable references.
I would caution about adding the book title in the 'title-numbered' context,
as that gentext may be used in other places besides the HTML head title.
Instead, I would focus on the template where that HTML title element is
generated. That template is named 'head.content' and it is in
html/docbook.xsl. You could customize that template to add the book title.
A variable reference could be used there.
